As a new thematic unit at their permanent exhibition, they present white marble statues that exemplify types of nude representation, made during the period from the turn of the last century to the 1920s.

At around 1890, monument sculpture was still marked by a historicizing eclecticism, while portraiture, genre compositions and medal art already embraced naturalism and art nouveau.

The organic execution of the respective works of Miklós Ligeti and Szilárd Sződy at our exhibit bears testimony to the influence of Rodin, from whom the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest already purchased works at around 1900.
